Scriba, NY -- A Scriba man was charged Tuesday with an air quality violation of the state Environmental Conservation Law after the debris pile he allegedly was burning ignited the abandoned mobile home that he was cleaning out, a Department of Environmental Conservation official said.

Randy King, of Nine Mile Point Road, was issued an appearance ticket on the misdemeanor charge, said Diane Carlton, speaking for DEC Region 7 in Syracuse.

King removed items from the mobile home on property he owns on 14 Lake Road, piled them in front of the structure and allegedly began burning them about 11 a.m., creating the violation, Carlton said.

The flames ignited the mobile home sometime before 5:38 p.m., sparking two calls to Oswego County E-911, which dispatched Scriba and New Haven firefighters to the scene. Fire officials summoned DEC, a 911 dispatcher said.

The building was completely engulfed in flame and collapsing by the time firefighters arrived, Scriba Chief Michael Montgomery said. No firefighters were hurt and both departments were back in their stations by 7 p.m., he said.
